The Assessment of 21st Century Skills in Industrial and Organizational Psychology: Complex and Collaborative Problem Solving (2015, background): “When looking at typical instruments that target learning agility, DeRue et al. (2012) identified considerable problems related to both the validity and reliability of the instruments.”
The future of employee development (2019, background): “Learning agility refers to an individual's willingness or ability to learn from experience (DeRue, Ashford, & Myers, 2012).”
Coactive Vicarious Learning: Toward a Relational Theory of Vicarious Learning in Organizations (2017, background): “Cohen & Levinthal, 1990), or an individual’s capacity to quickly and flexibly learn in a new environment (learning agility; DeRue et al., 2012) – and the CVL model advanced here provides an understanding of how vicarious learning can help build individuals’ capacity for learning.”
LEARNING AGILITY: ITS EVOLUTION AS A PSYCHOLOGICAL CONSTRUCT AND ITS EMPIRICAL RELATIONSHIP TO LEADER SUCCESS (2017, background): “On the other hand, if one postulates that “willingness” is not a component (cf. DeRue et al., 2012), then one has to ignore the stream of research findings showing the importance of goal orientation in motivating human learning (Colquitt & Simmering, 1998; Dweck, 1986).”
